silverphoenix Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) I got out yesterday for a very pleasant hike at my favorite petrified wood site. I found a LOT of palm wood and two of the mostly nicely silicified pieces of snakewood I have found to date. Perfect preservation of cell structure!!! Now we just need either lots more rain or no rain over the next week so I can find some more...I either need the flooded portions to go dry or for more to be washed out.

New Members RockieRockette Posted June 11, 2013 New Members Share Posted June 11, 2013 I live in the CS area and recently started collecting. I have acquired many petrified wood pieces. Many I know to be palm wood and I believe several to be snakewood. I need to get a better quality magnify lens. Two of the pieces of palm wood are really nice and I will post those photos later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefootgirl Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Those are all gorgeous pieces and I love the pattern and preservation on the snake wood. Great finds and I hope you find some more. In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.

fossilcrazy Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Very good looking wood indeed. The detail is great, but it sure would be nice to see it sectioned longitudinally and cross sectioned with a high polish. Of course that would kind of ruin one of your pristine finds.

lizardG Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I live in your area (Grassbur Rd Bryan) and the pics help me to identify palm wood but have not seen any snake wood. Although I have 3 milk crates full to go through. Contact me by email if you are so inclined. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
